From: Miss M Quicken
Dear Wellington Regional Council,
Please provide the material surrounding Metlink & GRWC Public transport side
a) Any requests submitted to Metlink relating to revenue assesment & options that involve cutting services or increasing the fares
b) Any responses, briefings that have been provided by Metlink to council outlining either assesments, briefings and;
c) Ministerial and any other lobbying that made part of the decision to either rise fares and cut services as Clr Ponter indicated about that metlink would do
I am aware of order papers in the GRWC website but there is simply no information relating to options that Metlink provided to the council.
Yours faithfully,
Miss M Quicken
